The Simpsons Ride Review (5/5)


The Simpsons is a phenomenally popular television franchise, and has now branched out into action figures, DVDs, films and even a theme park ride. The attraction, stationed at Universal Studios Orlando, is a high-tech simulator which sends you to Krustyland on a mission to help the titular family stop Sideshow Bob from killing Springfield's residents. As per usual, the on-screen storyline is hilarious to watch play out, and even safety videos are made funny by the inclusion of Itchy and Scratchy. Clips of theme park episodes are played throughout the queue, making for a light-hearted and easy to bear waiting experience. The simulator itself places you inside a mock roller-coaster cart, lifting you up to a huge IMAX screen then thrusting you down an animated adventure with disturbing similarity to an actual high-speed rollercoaster. Every part of the ride reeks quality, and overall it's one of (if not the) my top attractions ever in Orlando and in general, so is worth trying despite the hour-long (at least) waits, when you come to Universal Studios!
